The Watsons Bay Summer Market is one of those rare Sydney events that truly has it all — a breathtaking harbour location, beautifully curated stalls, a relaxed coastal vibe and genuinely great entertainment for kids. It’s the kind of market people return to year after year, not just to shop, but to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy a perfect day by the water.

Celebrating its ninth incredible year, this much-loved boutique market takes over Robertson Park on Sunday 1 February 2026, running from 10am to 4pm. Set right on the foreshore of Sydney Harbour, the market transforms Watsons Bay into a buzzing seaside destination that attracts thousands of visitors each summer.

With the water glistening in the background and ferries cruising past, it’s hard to imagine a more scenic place to spend the day.

Wander through 150+ carefully curated stalls showcasing everything from fashion, homewares and art to eco-friendly products, summer finds and unique gifts. It’s the kind of market where you’ll discover something special you didn’t even know you were looking for — often straight from the hands of the artisan who made it.

Food lovers will also be in their element, with plenty of gourmet treats and delicious eats to enjoy as you soak up the relaxed coastal atmosphere. Grab lunch, sample something sweet, and make a proper day of it by the bay.

Free Kids Entertainment = Happy Parents

Families are especially well catered for, making this an easy win for parents. Kids can enjoy a FREE puppet show with the much-loved Professor Peabody, along with Bubbles of Fun by Yabadoo Entertainment. There are also kids rides with Planet Entertainment, plus sand art and face painting to keep little hands busy and smiles wide.

With plenty of open space, a laid-back vibe and activities for all ages, the Watsons Bay Summer Market is the kind of event where everyone leaves happy — and possibly with a few extra bags in hand.

Whether you’re a local or planning a day trip by ferry, this iconic harbour market is the perfect way to celebrate summer in Sydney.
